Mum has been a resident since February 2022. Her care has been excellent. She is treated with courtesy and kindness. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained. Catering is very good and Mum enjoys a wide variety of home-cooked foods. Staff are kind and try to accommodate everything that a resident might
want or need. When an issue might arise, staff and management respond very positively to feedback.

After several falls and a worrying time in hospital, Mum recently moved into Upton Grange. She specifically wanted to live here since a respite stay last year.
The manager, administrator and all the care staff are wonderful in their care of Mum and nothing is too much trouble when it comes to her
safety and well-being.
She has a lovely room and excellent facilities and she loves it here.
Thank you to everyone at Upton Grange.

My mum-in-law celebrated her 100th birthday in hospital with Covid after falling at home, so we wanted her to move into a safe environment.
We already had experience of Upton Grange after a respite stay so it was the obvious choice. Mum loves it here, the staff are wonderful and the building and rooms
are bright, spotlessly clean and the whole atmosphere is one of friendliness and kindness.
She wants for nothing and we can visit her at any time, the regime is very relaxed and welcoming. Meals are first class and the dining environment encourages residents to socialise, so I have no hesitation in recommending Upton Grange to anyone on the Wirral.

My mum moved to Upton Grange during covid among the highest restrictions. Due to circumstances, we were unable to visit Mum and see for ourselves how she was in the environment. The manager ad her team worked closely with us as a family to gain knowledge of Mum, her needs, but also allayed any concerns
we had. They were approachable and receptive if we had any concerns. Mum is now 2 years on and I wouldn't ever consider another facility. Mum is surrounded with a team who care.

Mum arrived during covid. It was a very difficult time due to restrictions and not being able to meet the team at Upton and explain Mum's restrictions and needs, however, we feel that the team reacted to any of our requests. Due to two years on, the team know Mum very well. They understand Mum and we
would not consider moving Mum anywhere else.

No problems with the staff whatsoever, but could do with more staff to cover peak time at mornings and bedtimes. Also, the food does vary in quality.

The carers within the care home are attentive to my mum's needs. They endeavour to accommodate all the residents' foibles, with a smile. They organise activities within the care home as well as excursions to varying places. Overall, this is a good place for my mum.

My mum has been at Upton Grange for over three years. She is settled and happy. The care is of a very good standard and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff - they are friendly and caring and make my mum feel valued and 'at home'.
The home is generally bright, airy and clean and also offers good
food. It is a comfortable place to live. I am very grateful for the care my mum receives.

My mother was in respite care for two weeks. The care was absolutely perfect. Mum enjoyed the whole experience, she compared it to a five-star hotel. No faults whatsoever. Every member of staff was caring, kind and thoughtful. Her medication was always administered regularly. Mum and Family would not
hesitate to go back for respite.

We arrived at Upton Grange Care Home after a long, difficult journey to move Dad into a care home near me. We were greeted by a team of staff (including the manager) who focussed immediately on Dad's needs. Our welcome was warm, friendly and, above all, truly caring. In the three days since, Dad has
settled well. I am confident he will be happy in his new environment.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Upton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.765 for Upton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (403 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 511 Ratings = 4.765

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Upton Grange is based on 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
